However, undeniably, while there are those who are happy over the victory of Sen. Manny Pacquiao, there are also those who are not satisfied by the fight that ended in the 7th round. The Pinoy boxer was clearly dominating the match.

Based on Andreas Hale’s article on Sporting News, Matthysse is “slow, not much of a counterpuncher, lacks good defensive footwork and doesn’t move his head”. It is stated that the Argentinian boxer “posed little threat” on the Pinoy boxer.

The next fight of Sen. Manny Pacquiao should be against American boxer Adrien Broner and not Terence Crawford or Vasily Lomachenko according to the article. It is stated that a fight against Crawford will be bad for Pacman’s health.

“Lomachenko and Pacquiao would be a more interesting fight but it’s hard to believe that Pacquiao still possesses the physical attributes to hang with Lomachenko for 12 rounds,” the article reads.

Furthermore, it is stated that Adrien Broner would get fans interested and he can sell the fight with or without Sen. Manny Pacquiao. According to the article, the Pinoy boxer needs an opponent that can attract the fans while he is spending his time being a senator.
